The study of the Old Chinese language and early Chinese texts are both enjoying rapid progress. Nonetheless, these two currents of research seldom inform one another to the extent that is possible. Taking advantage of the recent publication of Baxter and Sagart’s Old Chinese: A New Reconstruction (Oxford, 2014) this workshop aims to bring together historical linguists and philologists to consider the recent achievements and future prospects for research on Old Chinese. The choice of participants especially aims to encourage early career philologists to engage with relevant phonological research.
